The large cast performs in the opening number as the story of two very different kingdoms begins.
Princess Alexis of Allyria, played by junior ʻAulani Oka, has everything a young woman could want except the freedom to choose what she wants from life. Her handmaiden Isabel, played by senior Anna Naipo, helps her to plan her escape from a planned marriage to a prince that she doesn’t love.
Prince Yoshi of the Yamamoto Kingdom, played by Keanu Ruperti, has all the riches in the world but no one special in his life. His mother Queen Yumiko, played by senior Casey Park, thinks the solution is to find him a wife.
The call goes out to all eligible princesses and soon the kingdom is flooded by potential mates for Prince Yoshi but yet there is something wrong with each one of them.
Meanwhile, Princess Alexis has been captured by pirates who then become her friends. They offer her a life of adventure but she realizes she is seeking a prince to love.
A violent storm tosses Princess Alexis into the sea and she washes up ashore at Prince Yoshi’s castle. There is a strong attraction between the two young people but Yoshi speaks pidgin English and Alexis speaks proper English and the two can’t understand what the other is saying.
While Prince Yoshi is struggling to learn proper English by studying Shakespeare, Princess Alexis is tutored in pidgin English by the castle servants.
Once the communication barrier is breached the two realize that they are in love.
Queen Yumiko insists that Prince Yoshi can only marry a true princess and she devises a test for Alexis. She hides an iso peanut below a stack of twenty mattresses in the belief that only a real princess will be sensitive enough to have her sleep disrupted by the peanut.
Alexis, who is after all a real princess from the Kingdom of Allyria, cannot sleep and proves her worthiness.
Princess Yoshi and Princess Alexis, after overcoming many obstacles, find true happiness and wed.
The wedding and the joining of two kingdoms and cultures is celebrated in the final musical number.
